In reply to Millicent Gerthrim (msg # 180):

"My hand had slipped." The knight said, putting an arm around Millie's waist.

In reply to Xyla De Wolfe (msg # 181):

"What? No!" Wulfsen hugged Xyla with one arm, reaching again for Sileas with his free hand. "Xavier is still in the hall." Wulfsen could not believe that tonight was still his wedding.

In reply to Random Knight (msg # 182):

"I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt on that," Millie replied.

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 183):

Sileas wrapped one arm around Wulfsen and one around her sister-in-law. She was confused, but this really didn't sound good.

"I'll get everyone and meet you in the war room," Shawn offered.

"It was a slip, a pleasurable slip but still a slip." The knight smiled.

"Get your hands off her, Edgar!" Lek said, the wine making his voice loud.

"This boy is a peasant trying to be a page." The knight scoffed, obviously having not paid enough attention to what Millie said to realize that this was her brother. "You are drunk Lek, leave before you cause a scene." The knight slid his hand down to Millie's thigh.

Lek swung at the knight's face, the knight dodged and punched Lek in the throat with his free hand. Lek fell to the floor, gasping for breath.

In reply to Sileas Thornblade (msg # 185):

Wulfsen nodded numbly, not up to seeing the celebrating people now. He began to move towards the war room.

In reply to Lek Gerthrim (msg # 186):

"LEK!" Millie cried out. Angered beyond anything she had ever felt before, Millie shoved Edgar hard and ran to her brother. "Put your hands on me again, and I'll break them," she hissed angrily.

In reply to Wulfsen Thornblade (msg # 187):

Sileas slipped her arm around Xyla, her mind whirring. She made a mental note to arm herself at the first chance she got. The questions she had filled her  mind, making her slightly dizzy but she managed to stay upright. Why would Wulfsen's mother and step-father be imprisoned? And why was her grandfather so upset?

"My hand slipped." The knight said, frowning. "The boy will be fine, he comes from hardy peasant stock, though he cries at the drop of a hat. He's absolutely obsessed with that whore who caused the invasion of the village, a lady shouldn't touch him, he probably has diseases from her. Step away and I'll take this ruffian outside."

Lek's wine fogged mind began to remember his training. He relaxed and caught his breath. "Are you okay?" He asked Millie, his voice croaking slightly, his hands curling into fists again at what Edgar was saying about Pinja.

Millie's eyes blazed, her hands curled into fists. "I'm fine, Lek," she said before turning on Edgar. "For a supposedly skilled knight, your hand is awfully clumsy. And I'm from the same," her lip curled, "Peasant stock he is, Lek is my twin. And you're not even worthy to speak of Pinja. She is not a whore." Millie looked to be ready to murder Edgar, if only she could put her hand on a weapon.

Shawn entered the hall and spoke in a low voice to Xavier, Aron, Lia, Aislyn and Yehudit that they were needed in the war room. He still had to find Lek and Nelek. He stopped to mention it to Bai as well. His magic might be needed.

"Hm, I shouldn't have invested a dance with you. You should have been an easy lay." The knight said. "I could have danced with another pretty girl."
Lek stood up. "Edgar, you apologize to my sister and take back what you said about Pinja. Now."
"I was only speaking the truth. I don't apologize for speaking the truth." The knight chuckled.
"Then I challenge you to a duel." Lek said.
"You're just a page boy, and a peasant." The knight scoffed. "But I'll take your challenge. I'll thrash you, you've been needing a good thrashing."

In reply to Shawn Spenser (msg # 192):

Bai was still tired and cranky. "What now?" He complained.

In reply to Lek Gerthrim (msg # 193):

Millie made a fist and put all of her anger and force behind it and hit Edgar in the jaw. "I'm no one's easy lay. And Pinja's no whore." She turned to Lek. "He's not worth your energy.

In reply to Bai (msg # 194):

"I don't know yet, but it sounds like there's trouble coming."

In reply to Millicent Gerthrim (msg # 195):

"Why, you little slut!" The knight said, clutching his chin as he sat on the floor. He glared at Lek as he regained his feet. "Rapiers, the garden, tonight, fifteen minutes."
Lek glared back. "I'll be there."
The knight leered a Millie's neckline, scoffed something about perfect apples being wasted and walked out of the hall.

In reply to Shawn Spenser (msg # 196):

"Are you just making up stuff to upstage Sileas's wedding?" Liadan asked suspiciously.

Shawn shook his head. "Never. Mama and Papa arrived, with Wulfsen's little sister in tow. Said there's trouble in the Capitol."

Liadan swore. "C'mon Aron."

Shawn made his way to catch up with Nelek. "Nelek!"

Nelek spun around. "Shawn, my son just challenged a knight to a duel! The man is enormous!"

"Millie, could you find Difyr or Aalyssa and send her to the garden? Edgar won't think to do that. I need to get my armor and real rapier." He gestured to the ceremonial sword on his belt, it was useless in a real fight. He headed out to his room off of Wulfsen's quarters where he had all his gear packed up to travel tomorrow.

In reply to Nelek (msg # 202):

"A duel? You're both needed in the War Room right away. Wulfsen's request. Lek! Wait up!" Shawn called out.

In reply to Lek Gerthrim (msg # 203):

Millie nodded and started searching the hall for Difyr.

Lek knew it would be difficult to put on his armor without help, he had no time to lose. He broke into a run and didn't hear Shawn calling after him.
